To the scientific eye, hair represents morphology, structure, or pigmentation. Its mechanical and surface properties are carefully studied and measured. But hair is also a language and a means of transformation. It has the power to change our mood and redefine our identity! Hair is an extraordinary source of endless creative possibilities.

This is the reason why, at Symrise, hair care ingredients are never just products but the result of extensive interdisciplinary approaches coupled with GLOBAL market intelligence. Driven by the emerging needs of contemporary consumers, thoroughly investigated and substantiated, each ingredient is designed to open new perspectives, facilitate innovation and manufacturing, and help invent the products of tomorrow.

Symrise placed its state-of-the-art Global Hair Care Center in São Paulo because Brazil is the second-largest market for hair care products in the world with the broadest diversity of hair types available for study. Here, the Symrise teams develop and test ingredients, blends, and formulations to ensure highly performing results.

REPAIR & CONDITIONING – For Beautiful Hair

Shampooing, drying, combing, brushing, styling, chemical dyeing, permanent waving, and environmental factors can all lead to damaged hair. Hair repairing and conditioning agents mitigate hair damage by improving sheen, decreasing brittleness and porosity and increasing strength. These compounds are able to cover or fill the damaged areas of the hair cuticles and provide care and protection.

Dandruff is an itchy, annoying and persistent skin disorder of the scalp. It is the shedding of excessive amounts of dead skin flakes. Though a minor problem, it can be embarrassing as a dark shirt and dandruff just simply don't go together! Dandruff formation is caused by a more rapid turnover of epidermal skin cells but is not a completely understood phenomenon. With Crinipan® AD Symrise offers a well-established and highly reliable active ingredient that provides relief for dandruff conditions.

Hair loss or thinning comes naturally with age, but can be accelerated by a wide variety of factors such as stress or seasonal climatic changes causing a premature transition of hair fibers from the anagen phase (growth phase) to catagen (regression phase). Looking for an efficient and sustainable solution to a global problem affecting both men and women, Symrise has carefully screened an extensive series of molecules and developed an original extract from a South Pacific microalgae acknowledged for its high nutritional value and active potential.

The eyes have long been recognized as an important facet of physical beauty and long and thick or full eyelashes are a symbol of beauty and femininity in many cultures. For thousands of years, women have employed different techniques to enhance the prominence of their eyelashes. According to Symrise’s internal consumer research 70% of consumers around the globe would like to have longer lashes.

Great eyelashes make your eyes look bigger and your face look more attractive but they are more than purely aesthetic in nature. By defending the eye against debris and triggering the blink reflex, they serve a protective function against airborne particles.

Symrise research has developed active ingredients capable of increasing the overall density of eyelashes by thickening and fortifying them.
